The Science of James Bond: From Bullets to Bowler Hats to Boat Jumps, the Real Technology Behind 007's ... 3 reviews
Lois H. Gresh, Robert Weinberg
Wiley, 2006
Informative and Great Fun!
Reading a book like this can give one the urge to watch the Bond movies yet again. Although the authors review the James Bond movies with a critical scientific eye, it is obvious that they are genuine 007 fans. Some of the technology, big and small, portrayed in the Bond movies are discussed in ...

So You Think You Know James Bond (So You Think You Know) 1 review
Clive Gifford
Hodder & Stoughton, 2007
So You Spend Some Money to buy a book that has little substance
Unfortunately this book is more a 007 movie watchers spotter book. There is no mention about the literary character which lets face it without Fleming's novels James Bond would never have walked across the gunbarrel. You can do just as good by looking up references for the Bond films on the ...

The Book of Bond, James Bond 5 reviews
Hoyt L. Barber, Harry L. Barber
Cyclone Books, 1999
Unique Bond Encyclopedia!!
+ A must have for serious Bond fans!
I am a serious fan of the Bond films, and enjoy any written works on the topic. But what set this book apart besides its marvelous detail, was that it also paid homage to the novels, which, thanks to the preponderance of the movie industry, one may not even know about! I knew that Ian Fleming had ...

A must-have for Bond fans
+ A true workman's reference guide to ALL thing Bond
+ An Excellent Guide
What can I say? This is one of the best books ever written about James Bond. It tackles every single medium Bond has appeared in, from Ian Flemming's novels to the unwatchable series James Bond Jr. There's plenty of behind the scenes info and some best (No, I expect you to die) and worst (I'll buy ...

Bond Films (Virgin Film)2 reviews
Jim Smith, Steve Lavington
Virgin Books, 2002
A good book but with some howlers
An above-average book on the Bond series. In my opinion, the book's major lapses are when it tries to put the Bond films in historical context. The most notable howler here is a lengthy discussion of the effect of the 1973 OPEC oil embargo on the UK (page 139). This whole analysis is flawed because ...

I couldn't put 'The James Bond Girls' down even after the third time I read it. It has an excellent review of each movie, what happened and the stars involved. It gave an interesting account of each of the Bond Girls, what they did before they became a Bond Girl and there life after Bond. The book ...

James Bond, The Spy I Loved1 review
Christopher Wood
Twenty First Century Publishers Ltd, 2006
Enjoyable read
The two films penned by Christopher Wood in the late 70s (The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker) have generated much debate amongst fans, in perpetrating a more flippant Bond, and in Moonraker a comic, ridiculous one. So, How much of the finished product is the writer responsible for? How does he/she ...

Imagine, a hero that can be shot in the ankle and still go slow dancing just moments later. A hero, who goes to The Fort Knox mosh pit and comes out looking crisp & unwrinkled. A dashing self made lover and chauvinist who would never leave a stain on his or anyone elses attire. Of course, James ...
